On the contrary, an honest man can, and will, change his mind (perhaps more than once) on many issues over the course of his life. As John Maynard Keynes put it (and this is perhaps the only instance of Keynes getting something right):
"When the facts change, I change my mind".
Maybe he's sincere and it's just a huge coincidence that he should reverse his position on all key issues at this point in his life, or maybe he just says whatever he thinks will get him the most votes.
For now, I will give him the benefit of the doubt on this point. (Note that this is not an expression of support; I will not support any primary candidate until Thanksgiving of this year, at the earliest).

Over the course of his life, sure. That's the mark of an honest and intelligent man, the willingness to accept that he might be wrong. But all at once? And right now?
As I said above, Romney flip-flopped on every major social issue right at the same time that he decided to run for President.
That doesn't concern you even a little bit? The timing is certainly suspect enough on its face to make me very skeptical. If a Dim had done it, we would be howling right now.
